Streaming music services are becoming more and more popular, even Apple has taken part in this market. Apple Music was released to public on the 30th of June, and becomes a built-in streaming music service on iOS 8.4 and iTunes 12.2. If the user has an Apple ID with credit card attached or iTunes gift card available, they are able to subscribe to Apple Music for three-month free trial. During the trial, people can enjoy limitless songs in Apple Music, and save them to their iOS devices or iTunes library for offline enjoyment. For Apple product users, they can discover the songs they love easily with Apple Music, and save their favorite songs in their devices or iTunes so that they can have an enjoyment anytime they want.

However, due to the DRM of these songs, users won’t be able to listen to the songs they saved in iTunes or devices from Apple Music anymore, and they will hardly locate the songs they have saved from the millions of songs on the Internet again. At this moment, people may want to record streaming audio files from Apple Music for their own enjoyment. In fact, people are able to record streaming audio with several easy ways. The following guidance will introduce how to record streaming audio from Apple Music as an example.

After testing Multi Track Song Recorder app on iPad, I find that using the Load Song from iPod Library feature, this app won’t find the streaming songs you saved from Apple Music. The streaming music are saved in the cloud, so you won’t be able to use a third-party app to get access to it. At this moment, if you want to record streaming audio on iPhone, you will only have to use another iOS device or iTunes to play the music files, and use your iPhone recorder app to record the playing song. Then you can enjoy the song on your iPhone.

These methods are helpful for the people who want to save their favorite streaming music for own enjoyment. From now on, even if you end subscription to Apple Music, you are able to enjoy your favorite songs with ease.
